and i think john boehner, going back to the issue that he's going to have to be on board, i think he is on board. i've had conversations with him about this and i believe that he understands just how important this is to do. so, this is -- you know, we are in a better place. it's still going to require threading the needle. immigration will never be an easy subject to do. not only conservatives are calling it amnesty, interestingly enough, senator marco rubio a couple of days ago came out with his own plan, advancing, preempting president obama. and he's gotten great reviews from some of the most conservative members of the base and the conservative influentials. in fact, he's also gotten good reviews from the white house. when was the last time you saw that happen? >> i know. >> so, you know, we're in a pretty good place. it's got to be comprehensive because in a comprehensive plan, there is something everybody can find. there's at least one thing everybody can find to love and at least one thing everybody can find to hate. >> ana navarro -- >> that's going to be sticks and carrots.
